Valid contributions don't always involve code and documentation. Effort around triage, planning, testing, etc. are usually not tracked by the version control system (thus invisible), but are important contributions nonetheless to the development process. Contributors who put time and effort into such activities should get acknowledgement for their work. Methods to do so can be discussed. A good starting point was raised by @drnikki, suggesting at a talk during the CZI Open Science Meeting 2022 that contributors involved in invisible work can be tagged along with PRs if they were somehow involved in the process. This is an easy way to be inclusive to people new to the software development process, not limiting attribution to only those who write code.
